     Khodorkovsky Yuri Isaakovich visited site on 16/10/96 and completed survey on 20/10/96. Interviewed were as above.
     UPDATE: Old Jewish Cemetery: {10365} I have photos of every tombstone in the old Jewish cemetery. (The numbers with the names refer to her picture numbers.) The cemetery is intact with a small new section. Today, there are very few Jewish families in the area. The old part of the cemetery is not overgrown, as the goats tend it. The old military installation is located right behind the cemetery. In 1992, it was discovered that 800 of the town residents were shot to death there during WWII. The remains of these people were dug up from a pit and reburied at the memorial in Borak. Many of these people were Jewish. In fact, they even dug up pieces of yarmulkes. I have much info on it along with a video showing the excavation and the reburial ceremony. Source: MarjorieG@aol.com

The isolated suburban hillside has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. A continuous fence with no gate surrounds the site. 1 to 20 common tombstones, between 50%-75% toppled or broken, date from the 20th century. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. The municipality owns the property now used for agriculture (crops or animal grazing). Adjacent properties are agricultural. The cemetery boundaries are unchanged since 1939. Rarely, Jews and non-Jews visit. The cemetery was vandalized occasionally in the last 10 years. There is no maintenance or structures. Vegetation overgrowth and drainage are seasonal problem, preventing access. Serious threat: vegetation, vandalism, and existing nearby development and proposed nearby development.
